Standard Koi - Kohaku

The Kohaku is the most popular variety of koi, (aka Nishikigoi). There is even an expression, "Koi avocation begins and ends with Kohaku." The color combination of red and white is simple and bold, with a seemingly universal appeal for beginner and seasoned enthusiasts alike. The intensity and tone of the colors is important, equally so for both red and white. The red should be deep and rich, while a bright, clean white is most desirable.
